British Writers of the Thirties by Valentine Cunningham

British Writers of the Thirties by Valentine Cunningham

This wide-ranging discussion of British writing and writers in that momentous and notorious decade offers interpretations of central texts of the period, not in linguistic isolation, but in the contexts - social, political, historical, ideological, and personal - in which they were written. Readership: students (6th Form; first-degree; postgraduate); general readers of history and literature.

Valentine Cunningham is a Senior Fellow in English Literature at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and an Oxford University Professor of English Language and Literature. He has written several reviews on literary matters, given numerous BBC radio talks on literary and musicological issues, given numerous lectures on literary and literary-historical topics around the world, served as a Visiting Professor of Literature in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Germany, and judged numerous literary prizes, including the Man-Booker Prize (twice!). Everywhere Said Against: Dissent in the Victorian Novel (1975), British Writers of the Thirties (1988), In the Reading Gaol: (Post)modernity, Texts, and History (1994), Reading After Theory (2002), and Victorian Poetry Now: Poets, Poems, Poetics (2011) are only a few of his publications.
